"I bought this saucepan recently as a replacement for my old non-stick saucepan in an effort to get away from cooking with non-stick cookware. on a recent holiday visit to my brother's, my sister-in-law used this 3 qt pan in christmas dinner preparation and i loved the look, function and the pour spout on the side. i decided to buy my own when i got home and i have used it several times already. it heats SO fast and conducts the heat much more evenly than my old pan. 5 stars"
